    Hi Dave

    I checked the f-secure website,
    http://www.europe.f-secure.com/virus-info/hoax, which also has this listed
    as a hoax. According to them "...this page is considered the industry
    standard information source for new virus hoaxes and false alerts." I always
    check f-secure whenever I receive a virus warning to see if it is listed as
    a genuine virus or a hoax.

    The link for the info on sulfnbk is:
    http://www.europe.f-secure.com/hoaxes/sulfnbk.shtml

    I always feel that if the warning is genuine, the e-mail should be able to
    provide a link to a virus company or a reliable source that has the virus
    listed on its 'new viruses' section. If there is no such link, the e-mail is
    almost certainly a hoax.

    Regards

    Carl
